About this role
AGE Solutions is modernizing telecommunications infrastructure across federal facilities in Washington, DC, and this Field Engineer III role puts you at the center of that effort. You'll lead hands-on installation and maintenance of structured cabling systems—Cat6 copper, fiber optic, and associated hardware—in secure government environments, working primarily during nighttime hours. The work spans multiple buildings and includes everything from cable termination and testing to telecommunications room buildouts, with responsibility for ensuring all installations meet BICSI standards, federal compliance requirements, and customer specifications.
This position demands substantial technical depth and field experience. You'll need at least ten years in structured cabling or telecommunications infrastructure, with proven expertise in enterprise or federal environments, fiber optic testing equipment, and cable certification tools. An active DoD Top Secret clearance is required, along with demonstrated ability to lead small teams, read complex telecom drawings, and work independently in physically demanding conditions—climbing, lifting up to 50 pounds, and navigating confined spaces. BICSI certification and experience in secure DoD settings are preferred but not mandatory.
The role suits someone with a strong technical foundation who wants to contribute to mission-critical infrastructure modernization while staying grounded in hands-on field work. AGE Solutions offers competitive compensation at $100,000 annually, comprehensive benefits including 26 days paid leave, performance bonuses, 401(k) matching, and professional development support. You must be able to work onsite full-time in Washington, DC or be willing to relocate.
